I first visited Waterlily while in Maine in 2007, anticipating our move to Portland. What a delightful place, full of reminders of my own cultural heritage.

Great gifts for all ages fun & beautiful hand made products one of a kind
I love everything home at Waterlily. The aesthetics are a beautiful gathering from different countries and feels very contemporary. Great place to shop for yourself and others!!
